| Item 1.03. | Bankruptcy or Receivership. |
On May 12, 2026 (the “Petition Date”), Society Pass Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and SoPa, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and a Texas corporation (“SoPa”) (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company’s subsidiaries, including NusaTrip Incorporated and Thoughtful Media Group Incorporated, are not debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Bankruptcy Court has granted the Debtors’ motion to jointly administer the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption In re Society Pass Incorporated, et al. The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors have filed or will file a series of first day motions with the Court that seek authorization to continue to conduct their business without interruption. These motions are designed primarily to minimize the effect of bankruptcy on the Debtors’ business.
The Company expects ordinary-course operations to continue substantially uninterrupted during and after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases. Employees of any subsidiary of the Debtors should expect no change in their daily responsibilities and to be paid in the ordinary course of business.
| Item 2.04. | Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement. |
The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases described above in Item 1.03 constitutes an event of default that accelerated the Debtors’ respective obligations under the following of the Company’s debt instruments (the “Debt Instrument”):
| ● | Prepetition Insurance Agreement. |
The Debt Instrument provides that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. Any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Debt Instrument is automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the respective creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Debt Instrument are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
| Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
The Company cautions that trading in its securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Cases.
